Site Explosion - Traffic on Crack
After about a week, the site made around $100.00 USD through clickbank. Now, understand, I had only had 1 previous job to this and that was at McDonalds, so this was my very first Affiliate site. So, I was all psyched about my $100.00, got my check cashed it and never touched affilating or advertised again. I got lazy, and I got a 6-3PM job...
So after 2 years of sitting in an office punching data into a computer for $11.95 an hour, I decided to get back onto the old train and see if I could make this happen FULL TIME.
For the past few weeks now, I have been just trying a few things to see how well I can market a site online. I did this using :
1. Articles through various Article Sites
2. Twitter
3. Squido
4. Forum Singatures
5. Word of mouth and Hype
The site isnt even up. I believe it's against some TOS here to post the link, so I wont. But with the site only displaying a "coming soon" page, I have had right around 4,000 visitors a day. I am going for MOSTLY PPC on this site, but it's in a niche that is VERY marketable, and it would not be hard at all for me to throw up a post to a product I give a review on and get quite a few sells.
That being said, and the fact that the site is based around Free, Financial information/Advice.. what does the warrior forum think? I got a chance and once the site comes out my traffic will continue to floor in, or... I got a shot in hell my website will suck i'll throw it up it will look like sh!t and ultimately drive by traffic down to 0.
